Kellen Karr Kellen Karr 6’5″ | SF North Lincoln | 2025 State NC has seen his stock rise quite a bit with Carolina Riptide Kody in North Carolina’s 2025 class. He recently earned his first offer from Chowan University as he moves into the 48th spot in the latest update. He’s a versatile 6-foot-5 presence that knows how to impact the game in a variety of ways with his length, athleticism and scoring prowess on both ends of the floor out of North Lincoln High.

Jiyoun Williams Jiyoun Williams 6’3″ | CG Northhampton County | 2025 State NC is a prospect out of the 252 area that continues to grow and develop in North Carolina’s 2025 class with Team Trezz Davis on the grassroots scene. He’s a strong, big guard prospect that’s shown he can operate in a variety of ways in the backcourt for his squad with his ability to attack the paint and finish in traffic around the rim. He’s a name for DII programs to get eyes on given his skill set.

Jermaine Cunningham Jermaine Cunningham 6’3″ | CG Swansboro | 2025 State NC is another prospect from the 910 area that’s worth some attention from DII programs in the area. He’s a lead guard prospect that can get hot in a hurry as the featured name in the East Coast All-Stars rotation. He’s also quite the underrated shot blocker when he applies himself defensively. He’s a crafty guard at 6-foot-3 that gets after it and makes his presence felt when he’s on the floor out of Swansboro High.

Ty Sanders Ty Sanders 6’3″ | SG North Lincoln | 2025 State NC is another prospect with Carolina Riptide Kody/North Lincoln High that’s quietly making a name for himself in the 2025 class. He’s a 6-foot-2 sharpshooter that’s capable of knocking down shots anywhere on the perimeter with his limitless range. He’s a confident shooting guard presence for DII and DIII programs in the region to get to know given his budding body of work on the floor.

Highlights
Jordan Patterson Jordan Patterson 6’3″ | CG West Caldwell | 2025 State NC is a name that’s climbing up the radar in the 2025 class in North Carolina. He’s a 6-foot-3 point guard that’s shown he can rebound in bunches, make things happen in space and lead his squad to victory, coming off a 26-3, 14-0 conference record in his sophomore high school season. He looks ready to turn a corner after posting 16.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.7 spg and 2.6 apg in 2022-23 with West Caldwell High. He’s a menacing guard that knows how to impact the game on both ends of the floor. DII programs in the region should take notice.

Darrion Ellis Darrion Ellis 6’5″ | SF Word of God | 2026 State NC climbs into the Top 100, checking in at No. 87 in the latest update given his growth/development in the frontcourt. He’s a lot more confident finishing around the rim and at the rim with authority as he enters his junior season and has been quite the presence since joining Garner Road 3SSB on the Adidas circuit and Team Trezz on the independent scene. He’s another name out of Northhampton County to keep an eye on at 6-foot-6 given his length/athleticism when he’s on the floor.
Darrion Ellis is a 6’6” high intensity athlete that plays above the rim, with a sweet in between game. Ellis is an instant plug and play wing. #1stLove #TheNextGenerationIsHere pic.twitter.com/NoXAErPr8D
